Welcome to the popular Magothy Beach neighborhood, where neighbors easily become friends and living by the water, using the community boat ramp, and taking your dog for a stroll down the street is the lifestyle. 279 Magothy Beach Rd is the perfect home for first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone seeking a well maintained home with bonus space for work or guests. Updates include full house water conditioning system in 2023, roof & HVAC in 2021, water heater in 2019, and new septic in 2018. With a full bathroom adjacent to one of the bedrooms, the second bedroom is perfect for a home office, guest space, or nursery. This home boasts bright living areas, an eat-in kitchen, and a spacious fully fenced in yard (in the front and back)! If you love entertaining, you'll have plenty of room to spend time with your guests! Go outside and enjoy the front porch, back porch (hanging party lights included!), a covered patio, and a fire pit. If you'd rather stay inside, spread out in the large living room and take advantage of the built-in bar, complete with a mini fridge and speakers. There is plenty of parking available in the oversized driveway or on the street. Previous owners have turned the large room off of the kitchen into a third bedroom…. Or keep it as a useful flex space off of the oversized mud room. The basement, with access from the outside only, is great for storage and can even provide space for a workbench and tools.
